Discussion

Another couple of days with potential record-breaking heat are in store for northern Alabama with highs likely reaching the upper 90’s in most spots. The high pressure ridge responsible for the hot weather pattern will be somewhat suppressed to the south later in the week and this will bring temperatures back to more reasonable values for the early part of October. In addition, a cool front will pass through the Tennessee Valley by Friday and highs at the end of the will certainly be closer to the 90 degree mark as compared with the near 100 degrees expected today and Thursday.
